…Peyton Manning of the Isidore Newman School in New Orleans, LA.
Living about 15 minutes from the home of the 3-time Superbowl Champion New England Patriots, we don’t like Peyton Manning. That all changed when I saw on Yahoo! this morning that Peyton is supporting Mitt Romney for President. Go Broncos!
Isidore Newman is a K-12 prep school in New Orleans, established in 1903

Two of the most influential prep school alums go head to head tonight. If you missed the last debate, you missed a good one. Experts predict Obama will come back twice as strong and I’m excited to see if Romney uses a defensive or offensive approach this time around. Tonight only: it’s Romney of Cranbrook vs. Obama of Punahou School.
Let’s get a prep school poll. Based on your opinion, who will win the Prep School Death Match–I mean, Presidential Debate tonight?

Snoop Dogg reposted a “Why I’m Not Voting for Romney” list on his Instagram page … which is totally blowing up … and it includes reasons like, “He’s a white n**ga” … and “He’s a ho.”
The list — originally created by @DragonflyJonez and was reposted by Snoop yesterday — includes:
– “He is a white n**ga.”
– “He looks like he says ‘n**ga’ all the time”
– “He always interrupts and talks over people like he’s better than them. Bitch, I will beat the sh*t out of you.”
– “He’s a Mormon but he ain’t got no hoes.”The post also includes the top 10 reasons to vote for Obama … including the fact that Michelle has a “fat ass.”

I re-read the article, and Snoop Dogg didn’t actually write the list; he only reposted it. I actually think that reason #7 to vote for Obama is the funniest. He sniffed Beyonce’s neck. He does more than that.

From Philadelphia Inquirer
A uniform-free “dress-down” day at Charles Carroll High School in Port Richmond turned into a public dressing down for a student who chose to wear a pink T-shirt supporting Mitt Romney for president.
Samantha Pawlucy, a sophomore at Carroll, said her geometry teacher publicly humiliated her Friday by asking why she was wearing a Romney/Ryan T-shirt and going into the hallway to urge other teachers and students to mock her.
“I was really embarrassed and shocked. I didn’t think she’d go in the hallway and scream to everyone,” Pawlucy said. “It wasn’t scary, but it felt weird.”
Pawlucy said she decided to wear the shirt after researching the candidate and President Obama and concluding that she was a Romney supporter. Her father, Richard, said she was especially interested in Romney’s opposition to late-term abortion.
He said he recently registered to vote as an independent but was not involved in the Romney campaign.
Samantha Pawlucy said that after going into the hall, her teacher called into the classroom a nonteaching assistant who tried to write on the T-shirt with a marker. She allegedly told the teen to remove her shirt and said she would be given another.
Pawlucy said her teacher told her that Carroll was a “Democratic school” and that wearing a Republican shirt was akin to the teacher, who is black, wearing a KKK shirt.
The teacher could not be reached for comment. Fernando Gallard, spokesman for the School District of Philadelphia, said an investigation was ongoing. He said the student had the right to wear the T-shirt.
The teacher said that it was a “Democratic school?” Welcome to my life. PC Central.

I love Clint Eastwood. In fact, one of my favorite movies is “Kelly’s Heroes.”
Clint is an American icon, and he is supporting Mitt Romney for President. Last week, Clint gave a speech at the RNC that was a little bit weird. The guy has made some of the best movies in the history of film and now he’s getting made fun of on Twitter and other social media outlets. Do everyone a favor and just leave Clint alone.
My favorite part’s are all from “Gran Torino.”
Look, I wish I were 18 this fall so I could vote against Obama. After all, Obama tells me that I didn’t create this business–the government created it for me. Nevertheless, this video is painful to watch.
What do you think?

Independence Day, also know as the 4th of July is only 5 days away. Hopefully, you already have your most American apparel ready but in case you don’t, the staff at Twines & Vines wanted to put together a patriotic apparel guide. You don’t want to end up like the Boss, who a few years ago wore a Ferrari shirt on the 4th, which unbeknownst to him had a tiny Italian flag on the neck. People were not too happy with that move, Boss.

When you Google news for “prep school,” the top result is about Mitt Romney and some pranks he played when he went to Cranbrook. The story goes that Mitt and his buddies held down a student who they thought was gay and cut his long bleached blonde hair. The student who received the haircut later got kicked out for smoking a cigarette, and he passed away back in 2004.
Nowadays, there is NO WAY that you would ever think of doing something like that. Besides, from the anti-North Carolina posts trending on FB and Twitter, most kids at our schools seem to support gay marriage.
So what do you think? It’s too late for Mitt to reach out and say sorry Billy Madison style.

Former US President and Choate graduate John F. Kennedy was prep. There’s no two ways about it. Just as JFK’s yacht was handcrafted to perfection, the JFK Sailing Belt by Kiel James Patrick is hand braided. Set sail here!

With everyone kicking back and enjoying a day off on President’s Day, I figured that we should recognize those men who graduated from some of our country’s finest prep schools.
Franklin Roosevelt on the Groton Football Team
First up to the plate is Franklin D. Roosevelt. I did some research, and it seems like FDR is the first true prep school grad to win the high office. His cousin Teddy Roosevelt was home schooled. FDR went to Groton, and as much as we sometimes hate on Groton, I have some friends there and you can’t deny its a great school.
Check out FDR in his Groton JV football t-neck. Classic.
JFK is swag surfing
Following FDR was John F. Kennedy. We have already written about JFK being so prep. He went to Choate before it became Choate Rosemary Hall and then went to Harvard. Just check out the photo above. JFK had so much coastal swag going on that it was ridiculous.
George H.W. Bush as a student at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts
The next President up was George H.W. Bush, who attended Phillips Andover, ’42. Bush was a legend at Andover, and went to Yale to play some baseball AFTER serving in the Navy in WWII. Despite his wealth and connections, Bush chose to serve his country before going on to college. He and his family are well liked in Kennebunkport.
George W. Bush at Andover
Last up is George W. Bush, who also attended Andover. Bush followed in his father’s footsteps in many ways, although he did not excel as an athlete as his father did. Like his father, “W” went to Yale and then got his MBA from Harvard. Even though he has solid east coast prep cred, W really has more cowboy swag than anything else.
So, in case you are keeping score, it’s Groton: 1, Choate: 1 and Andover: 2. If Mitt Romney becomes president, Belmont Hill gets 1/2 a point because Romney sent all his boys there.
